Excel VBA: Mask Date Entry in Excel. Enter Dates in Excel With Masked Format

Mask Excel Date Entries. See Also: Mask Time Entries

Unlike Access, Excel does not allow for us to mask time and/or date entries. However, we can use the Worksheet_Change Eventto achieve masked date entries. For the code to work dates should be entered as 6 digits, e.g. 010105, 121206 will change to 01/01/05 and 12/12/06 respectively. Note how the date mask is only applicable to the range A1:A100, but can be any range. You can change the display format (.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yy") of the code to suit your needs. If using a US date format use.

To insert the code, right click on the Sheet name tab, select View Code and in here paste the code below;

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)Dim StrVal As StringDim dDate As Date    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub    If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub          With Target         StrVal = Format(.Text, "000000")          If IsNumeric(StrVal) And Len(StrVal) = 6 Then            Application.EnableEvents = False                        If Application.International(xlDateOrder) = 1 Then 'dd/mm/yy                dDate = DateValue(Left(StrVal, 2) & "/" & Mid(StrVal, 3, 2) & "/" & Right(StrVal, 2))            Else 'mm/dd/yy                dDate = DateValue(Mid(StrVal, 3, 2) & "/" & Left(StrVal, 2) & "/" & Right(StrVal, 2))            End If                        .NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"            .Value = CDate(DateSerial(Year(dDate), Month(dDate), Day(dDate)))                     End If    End With                Application.EnableEvents = TrueEnd Sub
